(By: – After pumping the brakes on increasing the speed limit to 80 mph on North Dakota interstate highways, the state House changed its mind.

The House voted 54-36 to pass House Bill 1298, which would increase the top speed limit to 80 mph and adopt a new system of calculating speeding fines on all roads.

The Senate voted 27-20 to pass the bill  sending it to the governor.

The changes would take effect Aug. 1 if signed by the governor
